You can't even imagine your financial losses due to low voltage! You will be shocked! Calculation below.

Let's get straight to the point!

A 5000VA pump at a voltage of 160 Volts will spend how much more electricity if it operates for 100 hours in a row than at 220 Volts, the solution to the problem, the price of 1 kilowatt costs 10 cents

To solve this problem, we can use the formula:

Energy (in kWh)=(Power (in Watts)Voltage (in Volts))×Time (in hours)Energy (in kWh)=(Voltage (in Volts)Power (in Watts))×Time (in hours)

Where:

• Power = 5000 VA (volt-amperes),
• Voltage1 = 160 Volts,
• Voltage2 = 220 Volts,
• Time = 100 hours.

First, let's calculate the energy consumption for both cases:

1. At 160 Volts: Energy1=(5000160)×100Energy1=(1605000)×100

2. At 220 Volts: Energy2=(5000220)×100Energy2=(2205000)×100

Now, let's find the difference in energy consumption:

$\text{Difference in Energy}=\text{Energy1}-\text{Energy2}$

Next, we'll calculate the cost difference using the given price of 1 kilowatt-hour (0.10 dollars):

$\text{Cost Difference}=\text{Difference in Energy}\times \text{Cost per kWh}$

Now, let's perform the calculations:

1. Energy at 160 Volts: Energy1=(5000160)×100≈3125 kWhEnergy1=(1605000)×100≈3125kWh

2. Energy at 220 Volts: Energy2=(5000220)×100≈2272.73 kWhEnergy2=(2205000)×100≈2272.73kWh

Now, find the difference in energy consumption: $\text{Difference in Energy}=3125-2272.73\approx 852.27\text{kWh}$

Now, calculate the cost difference: $\text{Cost Difference}=852.27\times 0.10\approx 85.23\text{dollars}$

Therefore, if the pump operates for 100 hours continuously, it will spend approximately 85.23 dollars more electricity at 160 Volts compared to 220 Volts.

85 USD DOLLARS!!!
